“Super coole Tagestouren in Osaka und Kyoto mit Yuta!!”
Wir waren kürzlich als Familie (6 Personen) in Osaka und Kyoto unterwegs und hatten an beiden Orten jeweils eine private Tagestour mit Yuta. Schon bei der Planung hat er unsere Wünsche genau berücksichtigt und die Touren individuell auf uns zugeschnitten. Yuta spricht ausgezeichnet Deutsch, was die Tour für uns besonders angenehm gemacht hat. Er ist nicht nur sehr kompetent und kenntnisreich, sondern auch unglaublich sympathisch und humorvoll. Mit spannenden Geschichten, Insider-Tipps und kleinen Überraschungen hat er uns durch die Städte geführt. Jede Tour war perfekt organisiert – ohne Stress, aber voller Highlights. Es war für uns alle (von jung bis alt) sowohl informativ als auch super lustig und spannend. Dank Yuta haben wir Osaka und Kyoto nicht nur gesehen, sondern wirklich erlebt. Absolute Empfehlung – wer Japan authentisch, flexibel, auf Deutsch und mit viel Spaß entdecken möchte, ist bei Yuta genau richtig!
Yuta I.
Hallo Peter!! Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass euch die Touren so gut gefallen haben. Wir haben wirklich viel zusammen erlebt und die Zeit war auch für mich etwas Besonderes und das Wetter perfekt mitgespielt hat! Besonders spannend fand ich eure Geschichten über die österreichischen Dialekte. Das war für mich total interessant, und ich habe einige davon tatsächlich schon bei anderen deutschen Touren erwähnt, ein großes Dankeschön dafür! Wenn ihr wieder nach Japan kommt, meldet euch unbedingt. Ich würde mich freuen, euch erneut durch die Städte zu führen und gemeinsam Neues zu entdecken!
